A Fantastic day out at The Film & Comic-Con in London
Hello Steemians and welcome.
So, last Sunday on the 30/07/2017 I managed to talk my girlfriend in to us going to the London film & comic con to have a
look around and photograph the event which was being held in London, Kensington Olympia in the Olympia National
We was lucky enough to spot a few stars from film and t v and felt very lucky to see one of my favourite actors in
Benedict Cumberbatch. A perfect opportunity for a Steemit blog :)
I was so excited to be going. Growing up I used to love reading the Fantastic 4 and Silver Surfer comics ( or as we get older, Graphic Novels) And also watching The Batman, Spider-Man and X-Men Saturday morning cartoon shows. I was so hooked.
I grabbed my trusty Nikon D5300 with the AF-S Nikkor 18-200 lens as I imagined i'd be shooting at a distance
for most of the day and off we went
Whilst there we had a brilliant time, surreal but brilliant all the same. As we wondered around
I couldn't stop myself from smiling ear to ear. I can't explain it so I thought i'd show you all just some
of the pictures we got from the day. so first off
As we're walking through my excitement went into overdrive when the one, the only Sorcerer Supreme himself
Doctor Strange actor Benedict Cumberbatch goes walking past me and managed to get a not so great photo of him
as well as two other stars of the same movie See below

Me at The London Film & Comic Con
Now, no comic con is fully complete without people taking part in Cosplay, which for me was one of the best parts of the day.
For anyone who may not know, cosplay is when people dress up and act as characters from some of their Favourite
Film, T V or Comic books for the day. Hear are some of the best ones from the day
